Standardize Document Fields

The documents created by your connectors might not have consistent field names. For example, documents created by the File System Connector can have a field named FILEOWNER. Documents created by the Documentum Connector can have a field named owner_name. Both of these fields store the name of the person who owns a file.

You might want to rename document fields so that documents use the same field names to store the same type of information. CFS includes the standardizer task to do this.

You can configure the Standardizer task as a Pre or Post task. For example:

[ImportTasks]
Post0=Standardizer

To use the Standardizer task, you must set the EnableFieldNameStandardization and FieldNameDictionaryPath configuration parameters in the [ImportService] section of the CFS configuration file. For more information about these parameters, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.
